This little tidbit filtered up through the Montgomery Bike Club's web site.� If someone tosses around some smack talk that cycling is too dangerous, toss these numbers back at them....

From a listing at an online news site (recently bought by AOL!)

Your odds of dying in a Bicycling accident are 1 in 4147.

How does that stack up with other ways to die?

Odds of being killed while walking:� 1/623� (almost 7 times as likely to die this way than on a bike)

while a passenger in a car:� 1/272

while driving a car: 1/85

from cancer: 1/7.

Biking looks good, doesn't it?

Morgan
